Was he signing the "T" as practice too?
Hey, Cuban bragged about being behind all the rule changes for perimeter players. Why do you hate him so?
Was he signing the "T" as practice too?
He only had one FT in the last 2 and half minutes or so of the 4th.
He did, however, have four made FG's during that span.
That's why I'm saying to give him his due.
He was awesome when it mattered most.
Another reason the Mavs were screwed. But wait, that wasn't enough to finish the job. Holy , the mavs are about to win! Blow that damn whistle!!!!
Yes, because the bench is obviously where players line up for a free throw.
Hmmm, I remember Dirk and Terry missing some key free throws at the end, too.
I must of imagined that.
But I agree the parade (on both sides) to the FT line is rediculous. Blame Mark Cuban for that...
See, Leonard just said he was walking to the bench. He wouldnt walk to the bench to talk to the refs, he was talking to avery.
So, Mavs_man_41, are you ready to concede defeat? It sure sounds like it...
"It's fixed, but I'll watch it because I'm a dumbass."
In the fourth quarter, Wade was bailed out on numerous occasions by late whistles. Explain this.
Me too, he was a real till he got banned.
Not fixed, but Stern for some reason is doing everything he can to help the Heat.
Hmmmm. Sounds awfully familiar, except replace "Mavs" with "Spurs" and talk about the end of regulation in G7.
When Spurs fans complain about what they perceive to be bad officiating in playoff losses they are "whining". When Mavs fans do it they are following the team owner or unearthing a massive conspiracy theory, I guess.
Hence the le of your little treatise:
Anatomy of an NBA Fix
Are you backpedalling on that too?
Sad.
Either wear the tinfoil hat or STFU.
Dude, he F'd up and called a timeout and was walking over to the bench...why would he need to walk to the bench to talk to Avery? Everybody in the building knew what the Mavs needed to do in that situation.
Was Howard pissed after it happened? Nope.
Did he try to defend his actions on the court? Nope.
Was he pissed after the game? Nope. He was beaten down.
He realized he F'd up...
That's all you really need to do is look at his reaction.
Mavs in 7...
"I've tried to make it more fun, but we've changed the rules around some," Cuban said. "I mean, the game got to a point where it really, it slowed down, and then they went through a whole set of rules changes, which really helped, and then these past couple years, I really got involved to outlaw all the handchecking and all the beating up of guys on the perimeter, so now the game's gotten a lot smoother, so you've got superstars like Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki who can take the ball to the hoop without all of that old Knicks ball, the old Pat Riley stuff, where they'd just beat up on people. So, we changed it up some.
Why would he have to consult with Avery? He said after the game that "everyone" knows in that situation you call the time out after the second shot, so what was he checking with his coach about? How to form the T with his hands?
I don't really remember any late whistles...
I agree that he'll get more calls at home than on the road...that's just the way the NBA is, especially with their "superstars"...
Notice Harris didn't get calls when he was bumped on layup attempts? That's just how it is.
Mavs have 2 at home and will still take the series...
Wait, you said he had a "Free-Throw-A-Thon at the end of the 4th quarter".
In the last 3 minutes of the 4th, he had 1 FTA.
In the last 5 minutes of the 4th, the Mavs had 7FTA and the Heat had 5TA.
I'm sorry, in case you didnt know I DID NOT WRITE THIS. I forwarded it as is from mavtalk. Manipulated would be the right word.
I saw AJ making the timeout signal with his hands at one point after Wade shot the 1st free throw. My guess is that he was reminding them to take the timeout after Wade shot the 2nd free throw if it was good and Howard misunderstood what AJ was saying and called the timeout.
In any event, you can't blame the refs for not reversing a timeout called by a player. That's not evidence of a fix of any sort.
Manipulation to achieve a desried result is the very definition of a fix, doofus.
Plagiarism is frowned upon here, too.
So, let's review:
No backcourt violation.
Howard mistakingly calls timeout himself.
Mavs actually shoot more FTs than Heat in final minutes...
Not looking too good, Mavs_Man. Hope you have a Zapruder Film or something...
EDIT: If you did not write this, you really should credit the author. Or, not, as he probably wants to remain anonymous.
And even if you didn't write it, you're defending it, which is perhaps even worse.

This is the play by play breakdown. He attempted 13 free throws in the fourth alone. Hence, why i asked the question: "Why did the refs bail out Wade on late calls in the fourth quarter? Explain this."
